JPL DIAL
NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab Digital Image Animation Laboratory is an advanced computer animation, and software engineering facility with broadcast quality video recording and editing capabilities. The DIAL was created and is continually developed by the Visualization and Earth Science Applications group.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Managed for NASA by the California Institute of Technology, JPL is the leading U.S. center for robotic exploration of the solar system.
MASTER - The MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator
http://masterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/
The primary objective is to support the ASTER and MODIS instrument teams in the areas of algorithm development, calibration and validation.
ASTER: Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer
A high resolution imaging instrument that is flying on the Terra satellite. Obtains detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance and elevation of the Earth.
Near-Earth Object Program
Established in mid-1998 to help coordinate, and provide a focal point for, the study of those comets and asteroids that can approach the Earth's orbit.
Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT)
An autonomous celestial observatory developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and funded by NASA to study asteroids and comets. The facility is a cooperative effort between the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the United States Air Force designed to complete a comprehensive search of the sky for near-Earth asteroids and comets.
